Three women have been wounded in a knife attack in Paris, with an off-duty police officer arresting the suspect at the scene.
A man armed with two knives attacked and injured three women in northwestern Paris. The incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. in the Porte de Clichy neighborhood.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez reported that two of the victims, aged 19, 24, and 36, sustained severe injuries to the back and abdomen, though none face life-threatening conditions. An off-duty police officer who was present at the scene intervened and arrested the assailant shortly after the attack took place.
